I was thinking that was what they were but they did not look like the bright yellow ones that I have seen so it threw me off. Thanks for the insight.

Are the two that are the lighter ones your Call babies? They look like how my Pastel colored ones started out.

Those are sooooooo cute!!!! I will only have 2 or 3 at the very most to give her because the rest are the 3 little Calls and then all Hens. Thanks for your opinion, I appreciate it.

I have a chance to get rid of my bigger drakes. I am not sure if my Rouen ducklings are males for 100% sure but my coworker is looking for a drake flock of ducks. She has chickens and is moving to a large farm she inherited from her parents. They would have their own duck pen and not be with...

My two Hens will eat out of my hand and are the first ones to come to the watering place to get in while I am changing the water. I got one as a baby and the other one was 3 months old. I am very fortunate. My Runners are the ones that are more off standish and my Mule and Rouen Hens are the...

Yes, my bad habit is only ducks and sugar. I eat too much of that but other than that I am not spending money on more expensive things. lol

So absolutely precious!!!!

You are most welcome and maybe next time you can get some cheap bird netting to put over any area where a bird may make a big mistake and decide to nest. I have to use it in the top of my carport where they always want to hatch out baby birds. It works well and will keep them at bay. Good...

Oh how Sweet!!! Thanks for sharing.

After being left that long I would think that the other eggs would not hatch and usually when you move a nest the Mother bird will abandon it. I don't see her coming to her eggs in a different site. I put my discarded eggs in a strong plastic bag, tie it shut tight and they go in the garbage...

So sorry to hear. Glad that you are alright though. I hope that you get your power back soon and I pray that others are alright.

My Muscovy Oreo was sitting on 11 eggs. Yesterday two were thrown out of the nest but still beside her and off and on she has either laid one of thrown one out that was a dud. I have no idea how many are left under her but if they hatch it would be a day next week. I feel they are all duds...

I wish I knew an easy way to sex them when they are only about 4 weeks old. Voice sexing sounded like a drake and a hen but it's still too early to tell for sure. No green sheen on their heads yet but a pink and dark colored bill. Some yellow on it too though so they are probably both drakes...

I thought maybe she was. Sorry I called you Knobby, I got mixed up with the posts.

I just went out and tried to sex my two Rouen Ducklings. I know for sure the Calls are a drake and hen. I have a chance to get rid of my drakes to a coworker who wants a drake flock. I am thinking seriously about getting rid of my Mallard looking drake and the Rouen one for sure if it turns...

For Sure!!!! That is why my 3 week old Rouen Ducks went outside along with my 6 week old Call Ducks. Having the 4 in the house at the same time was bad even though I changed the bedding constantly it seemed. I went through so many bags of pine shavings, lol.

Oh Soooooo Cute!!!! Is she a Mallard or a Rouen?

I agree. When the drake pulled the little duckling from the nest and drowned it after a hard rain in a puddle in the pen I knew it was not wise to leave him have access to her. She then deserted the nest and nothing else hatched out. I was heartbroken. All ducks are different though. I had...

If it was a flying predator you would not see any evidence of a struggle. They just swoop down, snatch and grab. This time of the year they are feeding their own babies and show no mercy to little ones. I would bet that is what happened. If Mamma duck is not around then she knows they are...

You also Knobby. The ducklings outside have all done good so that is a real blessing in itself. The buck a duck Rouen Ducklings are starting to look like drakes but still too early to tell for absolutely sure. Hopefully you got a lot of hens in your bunch. Have a Blessed day.
